Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday told first term MPs of the Lok Sabha that they must work to enhance the prestige of Parliament, pointing out his own agreement with the view that legislatures had “weakened” over time ceding space to the judiciary and executive. “Over a period of time, this is everybody’s complaint and rightly so that the legislature has weakened a bit, and the judiciary and executive have dominated it a little. For this, we sometimes blame judiciary or executive, saying that bureaucrats do not hear us or judiciary has encroached on our territory,” he said. “This is our duty to strengthen it,” Mr. Shah said. “It is our duty to enhance Parliament’s prestige,” he said.
